New Orleans runs on good drinks and good company, and a New Orleans winery tour and pub crawl party bus rental is the smartest way to put both together without handing anyone a set of car keys. Whether your crew is hopping between taprooms in the Warehouse District, making a day trip across the Lake Pontchartrain Causeway to the North Shore wine trail, or touring the city's storied distilleries from the French Quarter to Mid-City, New Orleans Party Bus handles the route so every seat is a passenger seat.

Providing Winery & Brewery Tour Transportation Since 2011
Since 2011, New Orleans Party Bus has handled group transportation for tasting tours, tap crawls, and spirits runs all across the Greater New Orleans area. That means we know which streets around the Frenchmen Street bar corridor back up on a Saturday night, where the drop-off zone sits at the Sazerac House, and how long the Causeway crossing adds to a North Shore itinerary when midday traffic backs up near the Metairie Road on-ramp. Over 15 years of booking these trips has taught us a lot about how to keep a tasting group on schedule, comfortable, and together from the first pour to the last call.
When you call 504-264-9429, that experience is part of what you get.
What Booking Winery & Brewery Tour Transportation With New Orleans Party Bus Looks Like
Bus Options Perfect for Any Winery or Brewery Tour in New Orleans, Louisiana
A tight crew of ten heading to three taprooms in the Marigny needs a very different vehicle than a company outing hitting five North Shore wineries with coolers and folding chairs in tow. That's why New Orleans Party Bus keeps a range of options ready. A 15-passenger minibus is nimble enough for the narrow one-way streets around Magazine Street and the Irish Channel, while a full-size 40-56 passenger charter bus with undercarriage bays handles oversized groups and all the gear that comes with a full-day expedition.
Party buses with onboard sound and LED lighting turn the drive itself into part of the celebration. Tell us your group size and your stops, and we'll match you with the right vehicle — no paying for seats you don't need.

Winery & Brewery Tour Transportation Services Available in New Orleans, Louisiana and the Following Cities
New Orleans Party Bus runs winery and brewery tour transportation throughout the metro and the surrounding region. We pick up and drop off across New Orleans proper — the French Quarter, Uptown, Mid-City, Algiers — as well as Metairie, Kenner, Slidell, and across the 24-mile Causeway to Covington, Mandeville, and Abita Springs on the North Shore. Planning a tasting trip that starts on the south shore and ends on the north?
We build the route to include the Causeway crossing without adding confusion. Wherever your group is based and wherever the best pours are waiting, call 504-264-9429 and we'll sort the logistics.
New Orleans Brewery Hop Transportation: Tap Rooms From the Warehouse District to Mid-City
New Orleans has quietly built one of the South's most interesting craft brewery scenes, concentrated in a handful of walkable clusters that are anything but easy to drive between after a few tastings. NOLA Brewing Company (3001 Tchoupitoulas St, New Orleans, LA 70115) pours out of a large Uptown facility with a sprawling tap room and regular Friday Happy Hours that draw serious crowds — street parking on Tchoupitoulas disappears fast. Crescent City Brewhouse (527 Decatur St, New Orleans, LA 70130) sits right in the French Quarter where a car is a liability on any given afternoon.
Add Urban South Brewery (1645 Tchoupitoulas St, New Orleans, LA 70130) and Wayward Owl Brewing (1535 Gravier St, New Orleans, LA 70112) in Mid-City, and you're looking at a four-stop itinerary that crosses three neighborhoods. A party bus in New Orleans drops your group curbside at each tap room and waits nearby — no one wrestles with the I-10 on-ramp after their third flight. Call 504-264-9429 to build the route.
North Shore Wine Country Day Trips: Charter Bus Service Across the Lake Pontchartrain Causeway
The Lake Pontchartrain Causeway is the longest bridge over water in the United States — and on a Saturday afternoon in wine season, the southbound return crossing gets backed up near the toll plaza well before sunset. Groups driving themselves back from a full afternoon at North Shore wineries are exactly the people who shouldn't be navigating a 24-mile bridge in stop-and-go traffic. A bus rental in New Orleans changes that entirely.
Pontchartrain Vineyards (81250 Old Military Rd, Bush, LA 70431) is about 55 miles north of the city and draws wine enthusiasts from across Louisiana for its muscadine and hybrid varietals. Pair it with a stop at Abita Brewing Company (166 Barbee Rd, Abita Springs, LA 70420) — one of the country's iconic craft breweries — and you have a full-day North Shore circuit your group will talk about long after the Causeway disappears in the rearview. One charter bus handles the crossing, the winery stops, and the return trip for one flat rate.
Call 504-264-9429 to lock in your North Shore day.
New Orleans Distillery Tour Bus Rentals: Sazerac, Spirited, and Everything Between
New Orleans has a legitimate claim to being the cocktail capital of America, and the city's distillery trail puts that history in a glass. The Sazerac House (101 Magazine St, New Orleans, LA 70130) anchors the experience right in the Central Business District — free tours, a world-class spirits museum, and a tasting program that fills up fast on weekends, so your group's timing matters. New Orleans Artisan Distillery (2815 Frenchmen St, New Orleans, LA 70122) operates in the Marigny, steps from the live music corridor where parking is essentially nonexistent after 7 p.m.
Round out the day at Celebration Distillation / Old New Orleans Rum (2815 Frenchmen St, New Orleans, LA 70122) for a rum tasting that connects directly to the city's Caribbean trade history. A New Orleans charter bus rental strings these stops together without anyone worrying about a tow truck or a rideshare surge at closing time. 504-264-9429 — call to plan your distillery circuit.
New Orleans Beer, Wine & Spirits Festival Transportation: Boudin & Beer, French Quarter Festival, and More
New Orleans runs on festivals, and several of the biggest put serious strain on downtown parking and Uber pricing. French Quarter Festival in April draws over 800,000 attendees across four days — by Friday afternoon, every surface lot in the CBD is full, rideshare wait times stretch past 30 minutes, and the I-10 on-ramps at Poydras and Claiborne are gridlocked by 5 p.m. The New Orleans Wine & Food Experience (NOWFE), held each May across Warehouse District venues including the Ernest N. Morial Convention Center (900 Convention Center Blvd, New Orleans, LA 70130), brings thousands of wine enthusiasts downtown for grand tastings and winemaker dinners.
The Biere du Bayou Homebrew Festival and the annual NOLA on Tap craft beer festival pull large crowds to Jefferson Parish and City Park respectively. For any of these, a party bus rental in New Orleans loads your group at the hotel or a pre-agreed meeting point, drops everyone at the festival entrance, and comes back at a set pickup time — one rate, no surge, no parking receipts. Book well ahead of April and May dates; festival-weekend vehicle availability tightens two to three months out.
Call 504-264-9429.
Build Your Own Winery & Brewery Tour Itinerary: New Orleans Party Bus Handles the Rest
Not every tasting trip fits a pre-packaged route, and the best New Orleans brewery and distillery days usually involve a personal mix — a morning at a Warehouse District taproom, lunch at a brewery with a full kitchen, an afternoon distillery tour in the CBD, and an evening on Frenchmen Street. New Orleans Party Bus builds the transportation plan around whatever itinerary you bring to the table. Give us the stops, the approximate times, and the group size, and we'll confirm the vehicle, set up the pickups, and handle the parking question at every venue. Want to add a stop at Nola Kombucha or swing through the Garden District between tastings?
That's your call — we just need to know. Heading somewhere farther out, like a Mississippi Gulf Coast winery across the state line? Charter buses in our network cover that distance comfortably.
Call 504-264-9429 and tell us what you're thinking — we'll make it work.

Client Reviews of Our Winery & Brewery Tour Transportation in New Orleans
Did a pub crawl with the girls and the bus was the perfect basecamp between every stop. Nobody had to drive, we kept the music going, and the inside was clean and comfortable for the whole loop around New Orleans. It was punctual at each pickup and the route was exactly what we planned. Booking was simple and stress-free. It let us actually enjoy ourselves without a worry in the world. Best girls' day we've had in ages.

Booked the bus for a tasting tour with friends and it was the ideal way to hop between spots without anyone playing designated driver. Roomy, clean, and a fun place to hang out on the rides in between. It stuck to our schedule perfectly and the people I booked with helped map out a smooth route. We could relax and savor the whole experience. Genuinely the most fun way to do a tour like this.

Organized a pub crawl for a friend's birthday and the bus tied the whole day together. We bounced between our favorite spots in New Orleans with our own music and zero parking worries. The inside was comfortable and spotless and pickup was right on time at every stop. Setting up the itinerary was easy and they were flexible. Everyone got to actually enjoy the day instead of worrying about the drive. Such a great, carefree way to celebrate.

Quentin F.
Took a group out for a tasting crawl and the bus made it effortless. We could sample everything without anyone stressing about getting home, and the ride between stops was half the fun with the sound system going. The cabin was clean and roomy and it ran right on schedule the whole route. Booking was quick and the price for our group was fair. We've already booked it again for the next outing.
Frequently Asked Questions About our New Orleans Winery & Brewery Tour Transportation Services
How many people can fit on a winery or brewery tour bus in New Orleans?
Anywhere from 14 to 56, depending on the vehicle. A 14-passenger Sprinter limo works well for a tight friend group, while a 15-35 passenger minibus handles mid-size parties and a full-size charter bus accommodates large corporate or private groups. We match the vehicle to your actual headcount — call 504-264-9429 and we'll sort it.
Does the bus wait at each stop while we're inside tasting?
Yes. The vehicle is reserved as a block of hours, so it waits nearby while your group is inside each venue and is ready when you walk out. We set a pickup window at each stop during booking — no one needs to text frantically trying to find the bus on a crowded Tchoupitoulas Street after their fourth flight.
How far in advance should I book a winery tour bus for a New Orleans weekend?
For most weekends, two to four weeks gives you solid availability. Festival weekends — French Quarter Festival in April, NOWFE in May, Jazz Fest across late April and early May — are a different story. Vehicle supply in the metro tightens fast around those dates, and the best-suited party buses book out two to three months in advance.
Lock in early if your date overlaps with any major festival.
Can you handle a multi-day winery and brewery tour itinerary?
Absolutely. Multi-day itineraries — a Friday evening taproom crawl, a full Saturday North Shore wine country run, a Sunday distillery circuit — are set up as a single booking with day-by-day pickup plans. You get one point of contact and a consistent vehicle across the whole trip.
Call 504-264-9429 and walk us through the full itinerary.
What's the best vehicle for a North Shore winery day trip across the Causeway?
For groups of 15-35, a minibus is the right fit — climate-controlled, comfortable for the 30-plus-minute Causeway crossing, and easy to park at North Shore venues like Pontchartrain Vineyards where lot space is generous but rural roads get narrow. For larger groups of 36 or more, a full charter bus with undercarriage storage handles coolers, folding chairs, and everything else a full-day expedition requires. Call 504-264-9429 to confirm the best match for your headcount.
